Re: Reference other widgets

I could have misunderstood you, but these lines might help you:

# load the user interface
    my $g = new Gtk::GladeXML($uifile);
    $g->signal_autoconnect_from_package('main');
# search for a widget by name (ie for 'my_label', and change it)
    $g->get_widget('my_label)->set_text('Hello world');
